I didn’t fully read the link, I thought it was for the office building, which I’m pretty sure was recently renovated.
June 18, 20231 yr The Capital Square building is building out an entire floor with a new gym, co-working space, and golf simulator for the office tenants. That floor is supposed to be opening this summer. They’re also still marketing and offering office reno’s for the existing spaces. I’d be absolutely shocked if they turned any of this into apartments, let alone demo.
June 19, 20231 yr The little plaza between the hotel and office building here is one of my favorite public spaces downtown Mature trees, the large fountain, plentiful outdoor seating - it's fantastic Also it has perhaps the largest concentration of retail remaining downtown (as sad as that is), in its shopping arcade connecting to the commons (and previously City Center Mall)

June 21, 20231 yr $3.5 Million Allocated to Christopher Columbus Statue Replacement Yesterday, the City of Columbus announced the commitment of $3.5 million toward a new public art sculpture at city hall. The project has been in discussion for the past three years, following the removal of a bronze statue of Christopher Columbus, originally installed in the 1950s. Two million of the budget is coming from The Mellon Foundation’s Monuments Project, while the remaining $1.5 million is being allocated by the city. “Today, we take the next step in rewriting our narrative,” stated Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther. “We take responsibility to tell the truth about colonialism and racism, and to tell the stories of the people who have been overlooked and erased from the telling of our history.” Dubbed “Reimagining Columbus”, the initiative will include community input on how best to represent a more accurate visualization of the past, present and future residents of the city.

Concerns about the project included its impact on traffic and overall density. But the developer isn't giving up. The project will continue to Columbus City Council for a vote.

Metro Development LLC applied to rezone about eight acres of land at 1555 McNaughten Road in hopes of building up to 126 apartment units on the site, a mix of wooded and open land located on the west side of McNaughten Road between East Livingston Avenue and East Main Street. Council member Rob Dorans said the application has been pending for about six months. He said the zoning code in Columbus is outdated and the land in question hasn’t changed since the 1950s. […] The issue with this one, Dorans said, is a lack of proper infrastructure in the area, especially the lack of sidewalks for pedestrians along McNaughten (there is a sidewalk in front of the Waldren Woods development) and significant traffic along the two-lane road.“ https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2023/06/27/rezoning-rejection-for-apartment-complex-on-mcnaughten-road-and-other-columbus-city-council-action/70359438007/

The city had been planning to add the fourth water treatment plant since it bought land for it in 2015, but it has begun to accelerate plans for the plant due to Intel and population growth in areas of the city and particularly the suburbs in adjacent Delaware County, said Director of Public Utilities Kristen Atha.

Between May 2022 and this May, the number of Columbus-area construction jobs rose from 48,600 to 54,700, according to the Associated General Contractors of America , which based the report on federal Bureau of Labor Statistics data. "This construction market's really hitting on all cylinders," Mooney said. "Columbus is a growing community, lots of health care; the Wexner Medical Center and Mount Carmel and OhioHealth all have work going on ... We're seeing growth in all market segments and the population is growing, which is driving demand for housing too." Simonson said one of the biggest growth areas for contractors over the past year has been in manufacturing, with a 77% jump in construction employment. In addition to Intel, Amgen, Ohio Steel Industries, Simpson Manufacturing, Vertiv, Pharmavite, Sofidel and Honda's battery production plant in Jeffersonville, which was too far from Columbus to be included in the AGC report. "The John Glenn Columbus International Airport project will start late next year," Mooney said. "That's on the horizon.

They slept with blankets and their strewn belongings. Some mumbled to themselves. Others huddled in the small air-conditioned waiting area.

And we really didn't want to raise costs for customers," Gaj said." and later in the article. "We take the brunt of the criticism because we're a big national corporation and our name's on the building." Crazy the city made such outrageous demands and yeah maybe Greyhound should take the criticism because they're a private company running a private business and I don't know who else you'd even blame? Maybe the customers, but again it's the company who's targeting those customers and they should understand what security requirements are needed and act appropriately.

I was a wondering the fate of the 1880's rail depot on the site. The depot apparently came from Brice, and was rebuilt on-side (clearly wasn't exactly original with the location). I assume someone will make the effort to relocate it, assuming it was preserved enough to be worth rebuilding. Apparently also a few passenger cars and a locomotive on-site. https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/northwest/2017/08/14/rail-museum-event-center-depot/19688939007/ Otherwise seems like a good reuse for the site, walkable (for those brave enough to cross Kenny) to Japan Marketplace.
